I’m fairly intuitive and felt it wasn’t 100% and sure enough, wouldn’t start once shut down. Hoping for a good result of course...

    I’ll try to get some photos but that photo of the gasket is after about a week with salt water on it and I had also pulled the “stainless” ring away myself to see how it was put together. It wasn’t as bad on initial inspection. The only thing I can think of is the past two seasons the harbour...

    thanks for reply, valves didnt appear stuck once rocker off, I'm trying to get the head off now, took a while to get the intake off as I'm doing it in the boat, with about 8 in of clearance above flame arrestor, makes a challenge :) usually run at 3200 for about an hour to fishing spot, so not...
